Biography
Robert Jeffress was born on 29 November 1955, and in 2007 he was elected pastor of the First Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas after having been pastor of the First Baptist Church in Wichita Falls. Jeffress was a controversial man, as he decided to rent all books about children with LGBT parents from a library and pay for them rather than return them, hoping to prevent children from borrowing the books; in response, donations of those books went up, as did the demand. He also said that Islam promoted pedophilia and called Catholics, Buddhists, Hindus, and all other religions "cults". Jeffress was a critic of Catholicism, saying that it was descended from Babylonian paganism, and he called gay marriages "counterfeit". A theocrat, he wanted the country to be ruled by a conservative Christian like himself, and he endorsed Donald Trump as the US Republican Party's nominee in the 2016 presidential elections.
